Dawson played for Rochdale today away at York on duel reg & scored. Ashworth played centre inside him & scored also.

The Wigan match is a big game. But beating them is nowhere near as important as arriving at the season's end with as many first team regulars as possible.

From this point it's fingers and toes crossed.

I wouldn't. They will probably end up broken.

I'd imagine if he is up to speed and fit, then Dawson will take the wing.

That's the safe option I guess because Dawson has played on Makinson's side before. If Fleming has as well I'd rather give him a go as he'll be match fit, he's a young guy looking for his chance and he seemed faster than Dawson. He's also caught a couple of tricky bombs. I can't remember what Dawson is like under bombs mind.

Brilliant to have Dawson back. Although I'd like to see Fleming get his chance.

I think so too, if you remember Dawson had a really good game against the pies before he got injured. Fleming on the other hand could be targeted a bit more but he's had some games under his belt. Whichever option we should cover OK. If Roby is out, I would have preferred Charnock over Flanagan because he always finds a couple of scoots to open up play, don't know the injury update on Charnock.

And for something completely different try Mose on the wing for a couple of plays when attacking. Also I hope we are practising spiral bombs this week to put loads of pressure on Bowen.

Saints should just be cynical. Turn the power off at 7.58 on Friday, blame it on the local power company. Jobs a good un.

I don't want to be there when Wigan beat us, which they will to be fair as we've 13 players missing. I don't want to be there when that absolute %&$*£ Flower is celebrating like he's just beaten Ali.

I hope we don't lose McDonnell to injury because the one spot left that we now have no cover for at all with Tommy's departure is fullback. Given that Wigan are our next opponents anything is possible.

If KC announced that we're stuffed with injuries so hes going to try some of the u19's most would support him, win or lose. Play out of form, underperforming 1st teamers out of position to cover injuries and i dont think he'll get the same sympathy

Re: Injuries : Mon Jun 08, 2015 7:28 am  

We still have a decent team out there for Friday, in the backs McDonnell, Swift, Turner,Percival, Burns, Wilkin is enough to trouble any team, in the forwards Amor, Walmsley, Mose. LMS, Sav, Flanagan still good enough to get on top of Wigans pack. Assuming Thompson is injured then Knowles or Davies to start.
Replacing an on form Makinson and Roby is difficult but we should,t be all this pessimistic and head into surrender mode, we are playing at home for starters, support the team loudly on Friday.
